Floral Regions
Floral regions are areas defined by distinct plant communities and species that thrive in specific environmental conditions. These regions are influenced by factors such as climate, soil type, and elevation, leading to unique ecosystems. For example, the Mediterranean region is known for its diverse shrubs and herbs, while the tropical rainforest is characterized by a wide variety of trees and plants.
Scientists categorize floral regions to study biodiversity and conservation efforts. Understanding these regions helps in identifying endangered species and preserving habitats. The classification often includes major types like temperate forests, grasslands, and deserts, each supporting different forms of life.
